of ta unimpeachable character
THE OUTLOOK
There are many possibilities and proba
bilities in the political arena
After every presidential election candi
dates are announced for the ensuing cam
paign
Many favored sons pressed forward by
their constituents and admirers rise to the
zenith of their political popularity and
iter having their records submitted to
public gaze fall into oblivion
Many achieve favor and notoriety
through their political prestige some from
accident some from actual ability and
others through various machinatious and
intrigues Thus are some of our stales
men brought into closer contact with the
people at large
The present status is peculiarly interest
ing this being the eve of conventions
Democracy is in a predicament j
Distention prevails in its ranks in some
of the pivotal States the electoral votes ot
which are necessary to its ascendency to
power
Its presidential aspirants are clamoring
for recognition Among its most frremesi
candidates are Cleveland and Hill
Cleveland is apparently the choice of his
party He has however been most bit
terly antagonized by Hill his most formid
able opponent who commands through
that corrupt- and powerful organization
Tammany the delegation from New York
which it must be acknowledged is a potent
factor in securing the nomination Gor
mans unsavory record is a serious draw
back to him Boies from the fact oi hav
ing voted for Blaine wil be shelved
Campbell retains the sling of defeat from
the recent gubernatorial campaign in his
own State Carlisle is geographically unfit
and Palmer an impossibility The nearer
we approach the time of the conventions
the more serious are the complications
On the other band with few exceptions
harmony prevails throughout the Republi
can forces and when united the Republi
cans never suffer defeat Two important
issues present themselves- The tariff
and fre coinage of silver
They are vital The Republican party
as usual has taken its position on these
momentous questions
It upholds the grand principles of pro
tection and declares in favor of the present
monetary system with judicious modifica
tions for a dollar worth 100 cents
1 be r ml spring elections bear some
sifc lj they show that the McKinley
bill 5 rapidly growing into public favor
that our reciprocal relations with other
governments has been approved and the
administration of President Harrison com
mended
Blaine has refused to allow bis name to
be presented to the convention McKinley
tbo champion ci protection can await un
til next time and Alger is practically out of
the race
The Republicans want Harrison llir
wise and courageous course warrants his
nomination and very probably his ultimate
triumph at the polls next November
OUR COLLEGE
Visit to One of Hopkins Countys
Oreatest Enterprises
Are we as citizens of Hopkins fully awake
to the fact that we have within our borders
and at our very doors one of tho very best
institutiona of learning of which Kentucky
can boast A visit to this institution and
an examination of its system of training
will soon convince any one of this fact
President Stoaks has fully accomplished
what he promised our people last fall
when he came here to look over the pros
pects Among other things that he said he
would do was to bring with him a
corps of able instructors who would place
instruction before the people which would
in every way equal anything in New Eng
land We have seen enough of the work
to convince us that in the matter of ability
and experience as well as social qualities
he has fully kept his word
From bis first appeaiance hete js a lec
turer Professor Stoaks has impressed the
avorably and has bad the en
tire confidence of the community De
pending upon nothing but hard work and
ability of bis faculty to carry out his
promises be has from the first Jay sur
prised even his most confident friends
Tha school started with nearly a hundred
students last January and now numbers 153
students All the departments advertised
except that of music are well patronized
Elocution has recently been added The
faculty now numbers seven teachers all of
whom are paid out of the proceeds of the
school
Professor Hanson Boring was chosen to
the ch ir of mathematics and ancient
languages His long experience and wide
reputation as a teacher and college profes
sor add to the school much influence
We found Professor Boring very pupular
among the students and having large classes
of very much interested pupils
Miss Emma Prewitt has taken up the
work of elocution and Delsarte She has
already large classes at work The Frank
lin Literary Society consisting of mem
bers or the school has a membership of
over forty in number
The faculty at present consists of Profes
sors Charles E Stoaks R H Bansen II
E ttrooks sad H Boring Miss Eliza
beth Norcrpss assistant in the model
school Mrs R H Bansen of the art de
partment and Miss Emma Prewitt teacher
ol elocutionand Delsarte
After chapel exercises in the large hall
we were shown to the presidents office
and from there we accompanied him to his
recitation room Here we heard what might
be a parados to most people an interestiug
lesson In grammar Thence to Professor
Borings room and saw a class of forty four
in Rays Higher Arithmetic Every one at
work and no laggards From thence we
were shown to Professor Hansens room 1
AHhoueh teaching classesirfnatural science
and 1 or Professor Bansen is a special
ist id The classes in French
and Gorman and even Latin 1 taught by
tbe inductive plan that is they learn the
language by using It The professor in
forms us that thousands of people in the
great cities of all ages and callings are now
studying the languages by this system
known as the Berlitz system Students are
made to speak from the first in the language
they study
The study of languages as it is persued
in this college offers many advantages over
the old method of first studying the whole
grammar before a student could attempt to
use the language The students arc taught
to converse from the first day in the new
idiom just like a child staVts with a limited
vocabulary learning words and inflections
as they are used In the conversation
Professor Bansen has a class of about
twenty five students in German who have
been studying for only fifteen weeks and
who astonish the visitors by the readiness
with which they converse With him in Ger
man
The same method is used in French and
here also are the results most surprising
We understand also that quite a number
of citizens gentlemen who have an eye to
their own good ae improving the evenings
by studying German under Professor Dan
sen and let us say right here that the study
of German is fast from an ornament be
coming a necessity for every person Who
wishes to be well equipped for any of the
higher pursuits of life
Stepping in the beginning Latin classes
we are astonished to hear the scholars read
Caesar and the professor explained to us
that they are the so called suductjve
method here the student is indeed to see
for himself and to find out all the
ties of the language and after each lesson
the newly discovered fActsarsput together
in form of a giammer lesson- Language
study in this form is indeed not the toil
some labor it used to bo in our days it has
the fascination of discovery and creates a
desire in the student tovlift more and ro5re
of the veil which coverfthellnkriQvfn A
short observation induced lis to see fujly
the superiority of the system jind a glance
at the eager faces of llie scholars proved
that there also the study Is there pleasure
than work
The Normal Training Department as its
name implies is designed especially for the
professional training ofteicbers that is
the teaching of teachers how to teach The
plan of work as h re conducted1 consists of
three distinct features
1 A theoretical study of principles and
methods
2 Observation of the application of
these by the teaching of- the training
teacher and
3 Actual leaching under the super
vision of the training teacher
From the necessities of the case this in
volves the most careful preparation on the
part of those preparing to teach and re
quires a most thorough knowledge of the
subjects to be taught
Besides the members of the training
class this department consists of a model
or practice school and a kindergarten The
model school has grown td such
numbers it has had to have larger quarters
and at the opening of the present term was
removed to Chapel Hall where class rooms
are being prepared which when completed
will make it one of the most convenient
schoolrooms in this part of the country
Evary teacher in Western Kentucky ought
to visit this room To note the ease with
which the discipline of the room is main
tained wil1 well repay a visit not to speak
of the improved methods of teaching
Objective work is made the basis of ail
instruction from the kindergarten up
through all ibe higher grades The laws
of child mind and is development are kept
constantly in mind and as far as possible
all work is adapted to the needs of each
individual child
A short tall- with President Stoaks
brought out the fact very plainly that the
school must soon have more room Next
fall term cannot be maintained in the pre
sent buildinc Said be We can repay to
the citizens every dollar plaed in improv
ing and enlarging the building and grounds
I feel that the community owes to the school
all the buildings it can fill Schools rarely
pay for any more than the teachers salars
and very few can do even as much as this
but I am sure that with good buildings I can
make the school pay running expenses
However let me say that no one should ad
vance money for school purpose with a hope
of receiving any dividends further than the
great benefit to the town and country
Schools worthy of the name are not
money making institutions
Let the people be earnest in this matter
and it will soon be seen what can be done in
the way of building up an institution
worthy of our praise one that will be a
lasting benefit to the commonwealth Lets
